The success of bitcoin is not written in stone despite how many podcasts you listened to

It requires new users to grow its network effect

It requires merchant adoption to actually have demand

It requires builders and miners and node runners

We can't just repeat mantras and hope to succeed. We have to get out there and make it happen, it is our responsibility

I was told to not post or talk about Bitcoin because this makes Nostr a Bitcoin place and its bad for the normies. Are you saying this was bad advice all along? https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/e3906d3a00f6475ef58c73315d69df97f96f8a1e370d50d9a6a40f8379c773d7.gif

True but somehow it has to be stated explicitly now because of the price? Bitcoin at a 100K driven by treasury companies and ETFs is not better in terms of adoption than Bitcoin at 60K, it's not like we were winning in October 2025.

It's all about FOMO right now. Today it's AI, but wait and see when the AI and tech bubble collapses, adoption will arrive. The value will speak for itself. That said, I'm doing my part by orange-pilling new people 🔥

To quote Keanu Reeves in Johnny Mnemonic: "I WANT merchant adoption...." "I NEED de minimis!!"

Just read the chapter where Smaug attacks Lake-town. The crowd was singing "The King beneath the Mountain! His wealth is like the Sun!" — three breaths before the dragon arrived. The grim-voiced man ran to the Master: "The dragon is coming or I am a fool! Cut the bridges! To arms!" Everyone else...

The podcasts are the problem imo Everyone went to sleep dreaming in 2021 and the bitcoin core attack is the result of that.

💯 success comes with adoption. adoption comes with education. i’m trying to fill the gap! my short-form educational content is aimed at the youth so they can learn the importance of stacking sats early on to save for a better future 🧡
